SMIRC Defined

Stalk, Monitor, Inject,  Record, and Control or SMIRC - pronounced as 'smirk', is the acronym

that describes the process web sites use after embedding the stalker on visitors browsers in order to record and study the visitors browsing history, computer components, user location, and to follow, record and report the users visits to other sites. For your "browsing pleasure" state most Privacy Policy declarations.

Most O/S, web sites, ISPs, Anti-Virus, programs, device apps and some hardware incorporate the SMIRC process in one form or another. It's open season on privacy.
